Questions before buying

I wanted to ask few questions about the console before buying.
The price tag for it is quite high (which I understand why), but there are other cheaper alternatives which seem to be as good. For example, Odroid Go Advance which is 2.5X cheaper, the GPi case for Raspberry Pi, GPiMate, and many other in the price range of €35-60. And then there's a tonne of Chinese no-names with hundreds of games which cannot be updated and generally shouldn't be considered an option, but if it's just for a few games then it's totally worth it.
How do you choose and why would you prefer RetroStone here?
And a more general question about the 4 buttons. I'd like to play Mega Drive/Dreamcast games which make use of 6 buttons, but having only 4 buttons on the RetroStone how do you guys deal with that?
